Saturday morning, gas station cigarette run
Bet you a pack this ain't gonna be the last one
And yeah I know you can buy 'em by the carton man
But I don't know why that'd be so disheartening
And the girls and their legs in the hot summer air glisten
And I could complain but even I wouldn't listen
I don't know what but sometimes it just hits ya
From the clear blue sky in Galaxy, Virginia
Grandpa Tom when he was just nineteen
Got blown off a battleship in the Coral Sea
And I don't know how I'd take that personally
But he came to in a lifeboat and asked for a drink
You can measure me against him but you won't get far
Cause the calluses I got are all from playing guitar
I don't see where comparing the centuries gets ya
The times all rhyme here in Galaxy, Virginia
Stopping in at the bar for a drink or two
With a benign case of terminal déjà vu
And I'll put on my parents' song if you gimme a quarter
They ain't changed the jukebox since Jimmy Carter
The smaller the town the harder it is to forget
'Cause people know things about you that you ain't even met
And the jukebox says that the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on
Interior
Barroom
Morning
A rundown poolroom with wood wainscoting
A man and a woman lay on billiards felt
A shrill old telephone rings like a bell
Confetti and bottles lay pell-mell on the floor

Flashback
An old country house with a new white Cadillac
A boy in Navy blues with his arm in a sling
Inches toward a pretty girl on the front porch swing
Sepia hue to imply the nostalgia of youth

Gas station
Later that night
Narrator returns for a pack and a light
He drifts through the aisles lost in a dream
Cut to
His reflection in a freezer of ice cream
Cashier
Boy don't you know that those dirty ol' things'll kill ya?
Narrator
No one ever really dies here in Galaxy, Virginia
